Hojer and Garnbret win epic show in Munich

Jan Hojer, competing against five guys from Asia, put on an amazing show in the Boulder World Cup final in Munich. Some 3 000 spectators got crazy for each top and when he also topped the last boulder and secured the victory, it was an epic thunder and lightening moment. Jan got emotional and after the event he took the microphone and explained how much their support meant. Among the females, Janja Garnbret who has won the three first Lead WCs this year, won her third Bouldering WC. Once again she did it by showing spectacular technique using all of her body from the toes to the head continuing and stopping big pendelum swings. The young Slovenian also saved the show for the route setters, together with Stasa Gejo, as the other four climbers basically could not establish the start or doing the first move on two consecutive boulders.
